tonsilectomy

HELP! I am 29 years old and had my tonsils removed on sept.4th, 6 days ago. This has to be the wort thing i have ever been through. I still cannot swallow much more than water(and i only force that down to take my painkillers!) Is it normal to still feel so terrible almost an entire week later? I would appreciate feedback from ANYONE who has had the surgery. When can i expect to start feeling better? i have already lost 8 pounds because food is still pretty much out of the question. Any advice would be so helpful! thanks
